According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a first input module, a second input module, a converter and an output module. The first input module receives a first packet group of first content applied to a first copyright protection method. The second input module receives a second packet group of second content applied to a second copyright protection method. The converter re-packetizes the first content packetized into the first packet group and the second content packetized into the second packet group, into a third packet group for outputting to a transmission path by applying a third copyright protection method. The output module outputs the third packet group of the first content and the second content.
